Undoubtably one can get a TimeOut bar somewhere up here in Canada; I've seen the ads on Canadian TV. I suppose the reason why I *don't* see Flake or TimeOut (and yes, they sound delish) or any other newer brand of chocolate like that... such as the majority of the newer names from Sam's chocolate list... is that, well, these Names are TOO ENGLISH. Yep. (As usual, the Tongue Troopers of Doom have been beating the poor French language horse to death). I mean, how would they want the 'TimeOut' bar to be renamed in Quebec? "Hors de Temps"? Get out.

Sounds good. Apparently, 'TimeOut' is a Flake bar between two wafer biscuits, and 'Twirl' is a Flake bar coated with a thin layer of chocolate. Flake itself is marketed as a crumbly, flakey kind of milk chocolate that was targetted to... adults. I suppose that might explain the overt reduction in sugar content. ;-)
